I'm very sorry to see your announcement that you will no longer be doing the Anti-Sicilian section for Chess Publishing as you "retire" from active chess to focus on your career. Your writing style has been excellent and your enthusiasm was contagious. We wish you the very best of success in your career.

As someone who followed a similar path with my own business career, I can say that you never completely "retire" from chess and we look forward to your return someday when the time is right.

We are very fortunate to have an expert like Sam Collins stepping in to replace you.
